Hired Someone? Don’t Skip This Step (Most Kenyan Employers Do)

You’ve hired. Congratulations!

But what happens next?

For most Kenyan businesses and homes, the answer is: “We just let them start.”
No clear introduction. No contract. No expectations explained.

That’s where things begin to fall apart — sometimes within days.


Why Skipping Onboarding Backfires

Whether it’s a new shop assistant or a househelp, poor onboarding leads to:

  • Confusion about tasks or hours
  • Friction with existing team or family
  • Mistakes that could’ve been avoided
  • Early resignations (or ghosting)
  • Constant retraining or replacing staff

You end up blaming the hire, but really — it was the process that failed them.


What Professional Onboarding Looks Like (And How to Do It Right)

Here’s a simple checklist used by smart Kenyan employers — and built into NadiServices.com systems:

1. Set Clear Expectations on Day One

✅ What they’ll do daily
✅ Who they report to
✅ Working hours, off days, and performance standards

2. Walk Them Through Their Workspace

✅ Tools, processes, systems
✅ Where things are kept
✅ How to handle clients or children (for househelps)

3. Review Their Contract in Person

✅ Confirm understanding of terms
✅ Answer any questions
✅ Keep a signed copy for reference

4. Check In During the First Week

✅ Ask how they’re adjusting
✅ Correct small issues early
✅ Make them feel supported, not judged
